Im debating going myself, do I really want to deal with a doe in single digit temps

I'm not sure I want to deal with anything in single digit temps!

Ouch! But thank God it isn't more serious.

here ya go! Did the "boneless method" with game bags like the ole days packing out in the mountains... and yes, got inner tenders

This is what we did with both does this year. No gutting, hung them near the truck and processed right there. Unless the weather is just too bad to do it in the field, I will never bring home a whole deer again.

I use an old sledgehammer handle , and even with it off and disengaged  which I do every time , once jam is clear auger can still move a bit once pressure of jam is off it . Someday I may share how I know ....

Today I got a wire dog lead wrapped up in mine ..... easy fix and didn’t shear the pin .

Nothing during my morning sit...did see fresh tracks on my way out.  Heading back in for the PM sit...  in the meantime, and keeping with the “Use all parts”  mantra, I’m preparing these to eat tonight during our butchering secession.  My brother is preparing the heart.

I just can't do it.

Umm, they're empty, right?

[grampy]

I do believe in using as as much of the animal as I can. That said, there are certain parts I just can't get to my lips. 

But bon appetit'......come back to let us know what ya think.

Searched around and found this vid on gutless method if anyone interested... if you love the heart and liver you'll have to gut

More power to you Dino and Wolc but not happening for me.   Balls just aren’t appetizing.   That said I love tripe so maybe it’s irrational

In the stand in 9a for pm hunt. Saw lots of tracks in 6+ inches of snow walking in, but none near my stand. Assuming that's not good.  We'll see.

Not irrational. Stomach and ballz are two very different things!

yeah, he got the tenders. Understand on the heart but can be fished out. I grab the tendons from behind the legs for backing on another stab at  a homemade longbow and the bones to be cracked and roasted for stock.

[BigVal]

Headed in shortly just walked in from work. Taking climber in close to where I've seen a nice buck two times the last few sits.

I'm sure we all leave behind pieces that others may feel are wasteful as well. To each their own. I have no interest in eating organs, but removing the tenderloins is very simple without gutting. This video shows it much better and is how we do it. (8:14)
